This depend on your talent and how much time you spend on training yourself, i teach you the tool not a skill, skills are acquired through spending time practicing, watching the recommended extra materials that i will provide the links for during our study trip
If you could read the question and this answer then you are ready, teaching is in arabic native Egyptian language, with very simple examples to give you better understanding to Engine concepts
Unreal engine could have infinite teaching materials, i should cover a lot of basics through 16 week of study and each week at least has between 8~10 topics to study, definitely you will be able to work with unreal after the track and be able also to study any related track later after finish this course
Watch carefully the introduction, you might find yourself ready to learn from the free content provided on the introduction video here https://youtu.be/ESv7KJCFsjk
